Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Oberstown Children Detention Campus Operational Review Report: Discussion (30 Jan 2019)

Clare Daly: That is certainly not my understanding.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Oberstown Children Detention Campus Operational Review Report: Discussion (30 Jan 2019)

Clare Daly: I do not understand what that means in English. I would like an answer in English.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Oberstown Children Detention Campus Operational Review Report: Discussion (30 Jan 2019)

Clare Daly: No, I would like an answer to my previous question before I ask my final question. Professor Kilkelly first told us there was a legal impediment and then she said that it would not be productive. What does that mean? What are the risks?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Oberstown Children Detention Campus Operational Review Report: Discussion (30 Jan 2019)

Clare Daly: Professor Kilkelly confirmed to Deputy Sherlock that the board did not respond to the points raised by the Department in the correspondence. The board had old legal advice and did not test what the Department asked it to do legally.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Oberstown Children Detention Campus Operational Review Report: Discussion (30 Jan 2019)

Clare Daly: The board was being asked by the Department of Children and Youth Affairs to follow a set of steps, on which the Department had first got legal advice. Professor Kilkelly says that the board did not do so based on legal advice but the board had not sought legal advice in response to the advice proffered by the Department.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Oberstown Children Detention Campus Operational Review Report: Discussion (30 Jan 2019)

Clare Daly: This is crazy stuff. The pathway put forward by the Department to allow the board to publish the report was that staff and management be given a right to reply, as it were. It seems from the actions taken - Professor Kilkelly can correct me if I am wrong - that the director was the only person who was given some type of right to reply and that no one else's views were sought. Professors...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Oberstown Children Detention Campus Operational Review Report: Discussion (30 Jan 2019)

Clare Daly: Professors Goldson and Hardwick have said that nobody who is up for criticism can be identified by this report.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Oberstown Children Detention Campus Operational Review Report: Discussion (30 Jan 2019)

Clare Daly: It is now a matter of record, and it is not in dispute, that the director was given a right of reply. We know that everyone, including the Department, asked that anybody criticised in the report be given the right of reply. We know that the director was the only person given that right of reply. In light of the earlier comments on resignations, either there was some manoeuvring around that...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Oberstown Children Detention Campus Operational Review Report: Discussion (30 Jan 2019)

Clare Daly: The only objection the Department had was that people who could be potentially identified for criticism should have the right to reply. Professor Kilkelly is saying that the director, in addition to the points of criticism about him, made other points. Were those points about other people who were criticised?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Oberstown Children Detention Campus Operational Review Report: Discussion (30 Jan 2019)

Clare Daly: We heard that point.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Oberstown Children Detention Campus Operational Review Report: Discussion (30 Jan 2019)

Clare Daly: We have heard some very clear evidence today, but accusing academics of flouting fair procedures - an accusation the board has levelled against the two visiting professors - is an incredibly serious charge which should only be put with evidence to back it up. I have not seen any evidence in any way to undermine the work done by the two professors. Does Professor Kilkelly support their...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Oberstown Children Detention Campus Operational Review Report: Discussion (30 Jan 2019)

Clare Daly: Can Professor Kilkelly explain-----

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Oberstown Children Detention Campus Operational Review Report: Discussion (30 Jan 2019)

Clare Daly: The HIQA report of 2018 identifies somebody in Oberstown. That report was carried out under the same constitutional prerogative as this one. The same Constitution and the same law applied to that report.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Oberstown Children Detention Campus Operational Review Report: Discussion (30 Jan 2019)

Clare Daly: The issue is that there is no legal impediment to criticising someone in a report.

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Disability (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2016: Committee Stage (30 Jan 2019)

Clare Daly: I recognise the Chairman has not taken the decision lightly and I recognise it is a serious and probably unprecedented decision. The Chairman is absolutely right as we have ratified the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, UNCRPD, and that comes with a cost. If we are to ratify it in a meaningful way, we will have to take steps that are meaningful. What we...

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Disability (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2016: Committee Stage (30 Jan 2019)

Clare Daly: This pertains to the Juries Act 1976. I will refer to section 1(1)(a) of this Bill. I have not yet tabled an amendment to this part of the Bill but I will do so. It relates to the provision of Irish Sign Language, ISL, interpreters to allow a deaf person to serve on a jury. I welcome that greatly. We should include those who are hard of hearing with those who are deaf. Additionally, an...

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Disability (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2016: Committee Stage (30 Jan 2019)

Clare Daly: I agree with that. We should put it in now. I take issue with the Minister of State's point about a citizen's right to a fair trial as if somehow the measure we are proposing or debating on these issues would undermine a citizen's right to a fair trial by having somebody with disabilities on the jury. The precise point of the amendment is to remove the wording which states "have sufficient...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Foreign Conflicts (29 Jan 2019)

Clare Daly: The Tánaiste spoke about how best Ireland can be effective. The problem is that Ireland and the EU have not been effective. For example, last year, the UN Security Council passed a resolution condemning the starvation of civilians in war time and particularly on behalf of the Yemeni civilians but they are still starving. That is the point. They are starving as a result of deliberate,...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Foreign Conflicts (29 Jan 2019)

Clare Daly: The Minister of State, Deputy McGrath, should be sent to Saudi Arabia.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Foreign Conflicts (29 Jan 2019)

Clare Daly: 43. To ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade if he will lobby for a full trade boycott and embargo on arms sales to Saudi Arabia in view of the fact that Saudi Arabia has been deliberately and systematically using starvation as a weapon of war in Yemen since the beginning of its assault on that country in 2015.
